Lifes Roulette
Born privileged into great riches
A pure accident of your place of birth
You won at life's roulette.
No hunger pangs
or a life cut short.
you had an education, and a job that pays
No master race
No grand plan
It's all about your dad and mam.
no privileged earned
just your rights at birth
when you popped into this world.
those Right wing politicians
think they can pick who wins
they put there money all on red
and up came black instead.
